Lucia took a deep breath and turned to look at Emma who was beside her. “This really has nothing to do with Mr. Adams.” Emma sighed. “Then you need to find a way to explain. After all, everyone now thinks you’re head over heels in love with Mr. Adams to the point of badgering him.”

When the time comes, you can explain and those rumors will be gone.” Lucia hesitated. “But wouldn’t that be taking advantage of Baron?” “Of course not. Baron likes you, and you are just trying to get closer to him. It doesn’t mean that you have to be his girlfriend. You only need to prove that you are not interested
